A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I think her ability to persuade Baltar now (as opposed to before the attack where, yes, seduction was her manipulation of choice) lies primarily in her ability to kill him with her brain (Or his brain. Whatever.), or kill him by manipulating others, or by stopping his heart, or what have you.
By and large, though, isn't she still mostly in seduction mode? She can threaten him (and follow through, apparently) when he balks. Mostly, it doesn't come to that, because she generally manipulates by stroking his ego. And some other parts.
What, you have a problem with a tall, skinny, blonde, buttfloss-wearing robot sex-toy villain-vixen with a worship complex, whose persuasive skillset seems to coincide with her blowjob skillset? Who are you, Betty Freidan or something??
Ha! Actually, I don't have a big problem with the
idea
of Six. Well, I mean, yes, it's blatantly a 'Look, watch our show, there's a hot blonde!' motivation going on there above and beyond the character's ostensible reasons for existing, but that's a different issue. I don't mind buying the idea that the Cylons would have a SexBot as one of their standard models, given that each of their models seems to exist for a particular reason, and Six is pretty good at scaring the shit out of Baltar as well as seducing him into doing things. I'm cool with that. I really
like
the whole New!Cylons thing, actually, not least because of the fact that they're monotheists, whilst the actual humans are polytheists. I think it's all pretty cool, and the whole Science/Faith dichotomy is very interesting. So's the whole AI thing.
No, I just think she usually looks profoundly
un
-sexy on the show, which seems to be the opposite of the intention. Whereas she does look very nice in the picture Dana provided, so clearly she can look beautiful, rather than odd. But maybe they want her to look odd and plasticy. Huh. Not sure about that.
Re: the pics - good
lord,
it's quite the reversal of the norm on the show, isn't it? Tricia is
well
dressed, and everyone else looks like they got attacked by a team of fashionistas from
The House Elf Eye for the Muggle Guy (and Gal).
And yet I still find Jamie and Mary utterly shaggable. Huh.

I thought she was sexy in the mini-series. In the series, NSM.
She's sexy? Maybe it's just me, then. I don't find her sexy in the show, for the most part, and I don't think it's a jealousy thing, what with her being fabulously fit and tall, and me being short and fat and short-sighted. I just - I find her character interesting, and I think she does it pretty well, but the things about her that seem to me to be geared towards teh sexy leave me cold.

She's very hard, and cold, in a way that doesn't speak to me. Not in a rrowrr sexy voice, anyway.
Well, in an obsessive maniacal religious kind of way.
If there was no religion in her attempts to control and overthrow, would she still be insane? If her religion is actually 100% true, is she still insane?
She seems to know more than everyone else with a voice, and is adept at getting what she wants, in a very conscious and deliberate way.
But she doesn't seem crazy to me.
